Yes, I assumed BF were creating a gap in the Master's timeline for just this eventuality Treloar & Beevers! Make it happen! It really is the best option. Given the overwhelmingly positive reception to Tim Treloar's debut as The Third Doctor and the equally positive reception towards The Two Masters, it's a win win for Big Finish. Plus having Beevers sort of reassures fans that are nervous about the 3DA's use of recasting. And besides, there'd be no point in recasting Roger Delgado's Master. There also wouldn't be any reason to pass up the opportunity of having Geoffrey Beevers' Master encounter The Third Doctor. Basically more Beevers is always a good thing.

Beevers easily became my favorite once he joined BF. Though it might just be a tie between him and errr....the bald one, name's escaping me at the moment.

A measly discount. Hardly worth it.

I doubt it. It's not different enough from the full RRP.

Well, it has only been out a month, and I'd agree that it could make a difference (particularly given it applies to the whole trilogy - that's a couple of pints worth of savings there).

A measly discount. Hardly worth it. If I wasn't a subscriber it would be worth it to me. I'll pay up to 5.50 an hour for downloads (before £50 disount) but hardly ever go above that. So I haven't got the Countermeasures special or Jago Litefoot and Strax, but I do get the Early Adventures. Ine dy when I don't prioritise saving moeny for sales to catch up on the backbook my buy price may go up asfar as £6 an hour, but I'm not there yet. Plus, it seems a little ungrateful to be so dismissive of any reduction. Big Finish don't have to offer discounts, I'm always grateful for anything they offer.

My argument though is that they should have done a bigger discount on older titles featuring the Master instead.

What a horrible comment to make dalekbuster, you must be loaded if you think this discount is a measly offer, not everybody can turn there nose up at £2 discount, Big Finish don't have to do any offers but always try now & again & give incentives to purchase new titles.

Interesting that the header on the FB page is 'Say something nice.' I would have thought any discount would be welcome news to potential buyers - but no. Just another excuse for a whinge.

I'm sorry if you see it that way but in my view there is no point in a discount if they're not going to give you at least £5 off the RRP.

I think you are missing the point of a discount. BF are not obliged to offer any discount on anything, let alone have to offer a set amount off. The fact that they do at all is incredible and should be seen as a nice bonus rather than an expectation. It beggars belief that anyone would complain about getting something cheaper than the normal selling price . Cheers Tony

Perhaps BF will be disinclined to offer any discounts at all in future. I wouldn't blame them.

They've been at this long enough to know the dissenters and naysayers - who tend to be the same old faces over and over anyway - aren't reflective of the rest of us. I would hope The notion that anything less than 33% off isn't a "real" discount though is just baffling. But hey...Dalekbuster can manage my local supermarkets anyday. With his super-sales I'll be stocking up!

There also wouldn't be any reason to pass up the opportunity of having Geoffrey Beevers' Master encounter The Third Doctor. Basically more Beevers is always a good thing. Yeah, a discount Roger Delgado (still keeping with the discount theme;) ) might have been good, but may not have had the same impact, a familiar voice is the better option. I'm still hoping they've managed to squeeze a cameo into Vol.2, a la Jago and Litefoot series 10.

Regarding the possibility of an early Beevers Master appearing with Treolar's Third Doctor, I e-mailed Big Finish about this continuity point in connection to the fact the there are several existing stories that feature Delgado's Master with the Third Doctor in a time set after The Green Death, as well as a short story with Delgado's Master taking place during the Fourth Doctor's time with Sarah Jane. The very kind reply to my message neither confirmed nor denied any such meetings with Beevers and Treolar will occur (although I think that likely they will happen at some point). However it also acknowledged an awareness of those later Pertwee & Tom Baker/Delgado stories, which essentially indicate that Delgado is still present as the Master at least some ways into the Fourth Doctor's era. Therefore, unlike the PDA Legacy of the Daleks, which The Two Masters clearly avoids, no other existing Roger Delgado stories in the late 3rd and early 4th Doctor eras will be disregarded. My belief from this e-mail is that should Beevers's early Master encounter Treolar's voicing of the Third Doctor then it will be treated, explicitly or implicitly, as a non-linear Doctor/Master conflict while Delgado is the Master, much like with the out-of-sequence encounters between the two Time Lords in The Two Masters trilogy and in Jago and Litefoot Series 11. As for Beevers with the Fourth Doctor audios, given that a full cast adventure set in seasons 12 and 13 are highly unlikely to appear from Big Finish, and further Tom Baker/Beevers stories are much more likely to happen post-The Deadly Assassin, I think that a more probable place where the healthy Beevers Master may encounter Tom's Doctor could be the Short Trips stories, much like Rufus Hound's Monk is appearing in a 3rd and 4th Doctor era setting in two such upcoming Short Trips where the full-cast option is unavailable. So, all in all, I think more early adventures with Beevers' healthy Master are very likely, but for those, like myself, who note previous continuity that Delgado is the Master throughout the remainder of Pertwee's Doctor era as well as early into Tom Baker's era, need not worry that those stories are due for an over-write. As for the War Chief being the Master, I certainly believe so and I long for the day when a Big Finish does too!
